Rose Parade Tour - Ayres Hotel

The sights and sounds surrounding the annual Rose Parade tour combine to produce a truly unique and memorable travel experience. From your visit to Pasadena seeing the floats being constructed and being readied for their parade debut and throughout the Rose Parade, you will be astonished by the colors, and fragrance of thousands of flowers and plants materials that cover these massive works of floral artistry. Enjoy “The Glory of Christmas” pageant at the Crystal Cathedral, where music fills the air and angels fly. All of this and a Los Angeles city highlight tour. An optional post-parade viewing of all the Rose Parade floats can be added at a nominal cost. Every year the comments from our guests are they have always dreamed of actually being at the Rose Parade or it was in their “Bucket List” of things to do.
